>Your window manager may trap the key combination you want to enter
in Bochs guest OS, for example <B
CLASS="KEYCAP"
>control</B
>+<B
CLASS="KEYCAP"
>alt</B
>+<B
CLASS="KEYCAP"
>delete</B
>. Here is a work-around:</P
><P
>Press and hold <B
CLASS="KEYCAP"
>control</B
>+<B
CLASS="KEYCAP"
>alt</B
>,
move your mouse cursor outside of the Bochs window.  Release them, move
the cursor back in the Bochs window and press <B
CLASS="KEYCAP"
>delete</B
>.</P
><P
>This should work for any key combination.</P
><P
>If you need one key combination frequently, set it up as user key combination
with the <A
HREF="bochsrc.html#BOCHSOPT-KEYBOARD"
>keyboard</A
> option in your
configuration file. This key combination is sent to the guest OS when you press
the user button in the <A
HREF="textconfig.html#HEADERBAR"
>headerbar</A
>.
Depending on the used <A
HREF="bochsrc.html#BOCHSOPT-DISPLAYLIBRARY"
>display_library option</A
>,
it may even be possible to edit the shortcut before sending it.</P
